What Are Metal Roofing Systems?
There’s something uniquely Canadian about a metal roof. Factories, warehouses, and farms were some of the earliest adopters of metal roofs. Farmers and business owners appreciated how easy metal roofs were to install and repair. These systems also proved their reliability during hot summers, frigid winters, high storms, and other serious weather events.
Today’s metal roofs continue this Canadian tradition. Many modern homes and businesses are protected by metal roofing systems with improved benefits. Metal roofs still offer fast installation and repair when necessary. Contemporary roofing systems also provide some of the best protection on the market. These systems can also be customized in a range of colours and other features. Give any building powerful protection and a classic rugged appearance with a metal roof from Iron Shield Roofing.
How Are Metal Roofs Made?
Steel is an iron alloy that’s been in use for thousands of years. Steel tools, weapons, and other artifacts have been found from civilizations around the world. Modern metal roofs still use this proven material to protect homes and buildings from the elements.
Steel is strong on its own, but our roofing options go a step further. Iron Shield Roofing offers metal systems coated in protective layers for extra features. Explore metal roofs with the following coatings
Galvalume (a combination of zinc, aluminum, and silicone)
Pre-treatments
Epoxy
Dyes and colourants
Sealants
Silicone-modified polyester resin
Polyvinylidene fluoride
No matter what type of metal roofing you have, the team at Iron Shield Roofing can help.
The Benefits Of A Metal Roof
You’ll find many metal roofs in the Edmonton region thanks to their proven weather performance. Winter storms, high winters, UV damage, and animal activity are natural threats that can damage many roofing systems. Steel roofs, however, can easily thrive under these conditions.
A steel roof delivers proven, lab-tested protection against Canada’s most common threats. These systems are independently rated against the following hazards:
Wind Uplift
Hail
Fire
Snow and Ice Accumulation
Salt Spray Fog
Accelerated Weathering
Traffic Load
UV Radiation
When Does Your Metal Roof Need Maintenance?
Metal roofs are long-lasting, robust options. A metal system shouldn’t usually need maintenance or repair services as often as other roofing options. However, most metal roofs will require maintenance at some point during their lifespan. Unusually extreme weather can threaten even the strongest roof. Major impacts such as falling branches or downed trees can also damage your roof. Contact Iron Shield Roofing to explore your options if you’ve experienced a significant impact or storm.
You obviously have a problem when a tree falls on your home. Rusted panels, missing shingles, and dents are also hard to miss. Other types of roofing damage are less noticeable. You might experience problems throughout your home when your roof has an issue. Explore these telltale signs that your metal roof needs maintenance:
Soaring utility costs
Leaks, drips, or water damage inside the structure
Indoor humidity or drafts
Unusual noises from the attic

METAL ROOFING SHINGLES
Metal shingles are carefully engineered to deliver amazing protection for your home, office, or other buildings. These shingles have thick steel cores which are coated in industrial-strength additives to improve their performance. Metal shingles are ideal for Edmonton buildings since they can withstand high snow and ice loads. Shingles don’t require frequent maintenance, but it’s important to have your roof professionally serviced as needed. Iron Shield Roofing can help you determine the best maintenance schedule for your metal shingle roof.
STANDING SEAM METAL ROOFING PANELS
Standing-seam metal roofing panels feature raised seams at regular intervals. These raised portions of the roof create an uneven surface that prevents ice and snow build-up. You can improve your winter weather protection by scheduling maintenance services in autumn and spring, both before and after the snow moves through.
STONE-COATED STEEL ROOFING SHINGLES
Stone-coated metal roofing systems feature solid steel cores and protective outer coatings, just like our other steel systems. These shingles are finished with a layer of real stone particles to create the traditional appearance of slate. You can enjoy the classic curb appeal of stone shingles while also enjoying the top performance of steel with these systems. Make sure to schedule roofing maintenance with Iron Shield Roofing to keep your metal roofing system looking and performing at its best.
